Private Lessons & Day Training

Private Lessons

Nothing quite beats dedicated one-on-one time with an expert. No confusing online research to sort through, and no second-guessing if you’re on the right track! We’ve got the peace of mind you’re looking for.

You’ll be supported with hands-on trainer time, detailed notes for reference, and troubleshooting with our trainers between lessons. Let our certified trainers craft a custom training plan, then guide you and your pup towards your training goals.

Day Training

We’ve come up with a training plan together, and you and your pup are working on your exercises at home. But some refreshers for your dog would be very helpful! Maybe you’ve been busy and unable to practice as much as you’d like.

Add on some Custom Day Training, and we will spend an hour working one-on-one with your dog, fine-tuning and brushing up!


Enrichment

*NEW* Enrichment Mat Subscription

Do you WFH, and your dog always has something to say during your meetings? Maybe you have a young pup with more energy than you expected. Or you just welcomed a new baby into your home, and the dogs just aren’t getting enough attention.

Enrich their lives, keep them healthy, & give them something to look forward to with our convenient subscription service!

We fill them with delicious, dog-friendly ingredients, freeze them, then deliver to your door! Then rinse and set out the empties for us to pick up. Sustainable and easy!

Why are Enrichment Mats so Great?

We’ve got great news for you: frozen enrichment mats do a bang-up job of working that doggy brain.

  • Licking is inherently calming for dogs of all ages
  • You can’t bark & lick a delicious treat at the same time
  • Nothing hits quite as hard as that post-enrichment-mat snooze fest
  • Mental stimulation, especially from enrichment, can tire your dog out without getting them riled up


Adventure Walk Program

Adventure Walk

Does your dog have more energy than your entire family combined? Phew, we feel you! Or maybe you have a pup who’s a little unsure and could use some low-pressure exposure to new environments. We’ve got you covered!

An Adventure Walk can include: hikes, swims, painting, nosework, intro to novel environments, and so much more. Book an adventure walk, and let us know what your dog loves!

Why are Adventure Walks amazing?

There is so much out in the world, but you don’t always have time to let your dog explore at their own pace! Let us do this for you!

  • Sniffing and exploring at their own speed helps build confidence
  • Shy or nervous dogs get a low-pressure way to interact with the big, wide world
  • High-energy dogs can burn off tons of energy without running around like a madman
  • Reactive dogs get a chance to decompress
  • Your dog comes home pooped!
